Help Send Matt to Worlds in Australia

Hello friends and family!

I am excited to share that I have the great privilege of playing for Team USA in the Open Division at the World Ultimate Championships in Gold Coast, Australia, this coming September! I feel very lucky and fortunate to have this opportunity. However, the cost of this experience is significant. As a current AmeriCorps employee and soon-to-be graduate student at the UNC School of Social Work, I would be grateful for any and all financial assistance you're willing to contribute.

My goal is to fundraise roughly half of the cost of this experience. I've broken down the estimated cost below.

It is important to me to note that there are many causes to give your attention and resources to, and many of those causes are (in my opinion) more worthy of your attention than mine. With that said, I appreciate your consideration and any contribution you can offer.

Note: If you would rather avoid GoFundMe getting a % of your donation, my venmo is @Matt-Gouchoe-Hanas.

Breakdown of costs:

Housing/Fields/Food - US Training Weekend in Loveland, CO: $300-400

Transportation to US Training Weekend: $450

Travel to Windmill in Amsterdam: $800-1,000

US Team Coaching and Medical: $800-900
